Theme; "Who Governs? Let's take Responsibility"

Explore problems and solutions, local and global. Make the connections. Do you have a piece of the jigsaw?
What are your issues?
Could they be resolved more easily if you reached outside your sphere?Whether you are a farmer, a doctor, or a teacher;
a parent, a builder, a traveller, or an immigrant;
gay, straight, young or old; white, black or red.
If you want to help your own, and the collective situation by working with others towards
just, sustainable, compassionate solutions,
you are invited to this conference.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a space for the discussion from which creative action will come.
